I walked into our kitchen during the holidays and noticed nice light falling on some antique bowls that Leah uses when she is baking. There were Satsuma oranges in one of the bowls: Circles of bright color, surrounded by other circles.
It seems like this is a good picture to share in the first week of 2010. In the small Puget Sound town where I live, my neighbors and I meet in the post office or the bank or the grocery; 2009 was difficult for many folks, so we exchange pleasantries and wish one-another good luck and good fortune in the New Year.
There’s a kind of circle to a community, and this picture reminds me of that...circles of families, neighborhoods, schools and churches...circles within circles within circles.
